    i recently swapped CPU in my Laptop, i put T7300 in C660-18C, it works fine(apart from the fact it runs max 2Ghz instead of boosting to 2.2 on single core(tested with older laptop)after every start BIOS keeps telling me that CPU's micro code is not recognized and keep asking to press F1 to confirm i want to run with it.(a bit annoying), i have the latest BIOS for this model V1.70, what is the most interesting- the same CPU works in older A210, i think it is due to fact that there were some a210 with T7300 originally, but no C660, the fastest i have seen on C660 was T6670. Does anyone know how to get rid of this warning, or how to insert microcode into BIOS? maybe somebody have some tested custom BIOS? Cheers

    I wish I could be of some help, but this matter goes beyond my knowledge.
    If you do not receive any help, I can move this thread to the Hardware subforum of Notebookreview; members there may be of more help.
    Notebookreview - Computer Hardware Forum

    Just reply here if you would like this thread moved.
